OzEmail subscribers find email to AT&T bouncing

OzEmail subscribers who send mail to AT&T WorldNet users are finding that the mail is not getting through.

This is the second time that such a thing has been brought to public notice; the first time, in December last year, OzEmail said it had been blocking certain specific IPs due to its anti-spam policy and lifted the block after two weeks. No provider was mentioned.

One user said he had contacted AT&T who had denied it at first. "But two weeks ago both ISPs admitted that this is so," this subscriber said. "OzEmail's help desk acknowledged their responsibility to remedy the situation. But still the emails don't get
through from Ozemail to AT&T."

An OzEmail spokesman said the ISP was not blocking mail to AT&T users. He said AT&T was blocking the IPs of OzEmail users and said he had asked AT&T for details.

OzEmail is Australia's second biggest ISP and has around 600,000 users. In January this year, OzEmail users found themselves unable to send email to Excite addresses.
